PCC trains shoe repairmen
Program airs Outreach
Can an untrained minority
youth get a good job in the
'Uildfng Lsades ia Portland?
Charles Canter, Director of
the Urban League's Project
Outreach, and Louis (D.J.)
Johnson, explain what steps
are necessary.
Ganter, as Director, ex
plains technical points of the
project. D.J., a graduate of
Kent Russell is one of five
Portland Community College
students using a shoe repair
shop as a classroom thia fall.
The college launched a one
year course in shoe repair
following a plea from the
Master Shoe Repair Associa
tion of Oregon, whose spokes
men say their trade "is
dying".
Portland's shoe repair shops
have dwindles! in number
from over 300 to leas than 40
in recent years. Shop owners
feel that low apprenticeship
wages have been one of the
reasons for the apparent lack
of interest in the trade.
Their idea was to make
available a more productive
way of entering the trade,
enabling younger members
of the profession to buy into
existing shops and 'Till the
gap" left by retiring shoe
repairmen.
The result is the PCC
course in which students
work a 40-hour week with a
shop owner his only teacher,
the shop his only classroom,
Russell, formerly of Eu
gene, has been learning the
craft from Dave Vanek, who
owns a repair shop in East
port Plaza.
Vanek shares his know
ledge of the use and main
tenance of equipment, and
bench work, including stit
chery, heel and sole work,
and reshaping
the apprentice program, ex
plains his feelings, while he
reflects on previous work
experiences.

A psychological counseling
clinic for women operated by
women is gearing up for a
busier schedule during the
school year at Portland State
University.
Called the Women’s Psy
chological Clinic, the service
operates on the premise that
some women may want to
take advantage of psycho
logical counseling from other
women rather than men.
The clinic is staffed by
Carol Gygi. a graduate stu
dent in urban studies at
PSU, and Courtney Good
monson, a psychology doc
toral student.
The two
women founded the clinic
last year.
Ms. Goodmonson said the

“Our
goal is to reach women in the
community with a counseling
service that otherwise would
not be available to them at
such a moderate price." she
said.
There is a fee schedule for
both individual and group
counseling sessions.
The hours of the clinic,
which is in Room 365, Cramer
Hall. 730 S.W. Mill, are be

BLACK HISTORY THROUGH COOKING
I had heard about “The
Historical Cookbook for the
American Negro.” I knew
it was out of print and that
no one who owned a copy
wanted to part with it. A
precious document of reci
pes honoring famous Blacks
of the past.
In a bookstore in Harlem
I met a woman who knew
Dorothy Height, National
President of The National
Council of Negro Women,
publishers of the book. She
suggested I get in touch
with her. Even the Council
didn't want to let their copy
out of the office. Then by
chance I met a fellow work
er at Best Foods who knew
the book. Her sister Helen
Norvelle was a regional
Director of NCNW in 1958
when th* book was publish
ed and she offered to let me
borrow her book. There were
io many recipes I wanted to
try, and so much to read
about Black history; pictures
and documents to study-a
delight in every way. Here
is just one recipe from the
book, Banana Nut Bread.
Now that I know there’s
a copy of “The Historical
Cookbook for the American
Negro" in the Schomburg
Collection at 103 West 135th
Street in New York City,
I may refer to it again.

Blanchard also admonished
staff members to apply an
equal standard of conduct:
“i challenge all teachers
and administrators this eve
ning to renew their effort to
provide consistently the same
type of firm, even handed
discipline and understanding
they would expect for their
own children. This should be
carried out with respect to
all students, irrespective of
background. I am convinced
that that is what the parents
of this community want.
This superintendent will back
this staff in that renewed
effort regardless of the num
